Description

Kendo and iaido dojo in Tokyo, headed by Nakayama Hakudo after the Shindo Munen-ryu lineage of Negishi Shingoro, and the home of Nakayama's iaido teaching. Minoru Mochizuki studied kendo and iaido with Nakayama there in the late 1920s. In 1930 Gichin Funakoshi's karate teaching base was set up nearby, and Nakayama offered the Funakoshis the use of the dojo when it was unoccupied.

Probable

The kenshi247 article states Hakudo entered the Yushinkan of Negishi Shingoro of the Shindo Munen Ryu in 1891, and Negishi was his most influential teacher; the specific nature of the iaijutsu/kenjutsu instruction is implied.

The evidence favours the claim and nothing credible contradicts it, but it falls short of establishing it.
